routine that adds a point to a polygon.
* Bug-fix: Correct the tests for intersecting segments:
(1) Collinear line segments were excluded but now are OK so long as X domains do not overlap.
(2) Corrected the tests for intersecting line segments to avoid rejecting some valid polygons.
* Bug-fix: Fix sawtooth interpolation functions to handle case where there is a step in the X coordinate in addition to the Y coordinate.
